EMPTY WORDS.
Some of the Singing Remarks Made by
Smart Men.

A member of the Irish House of Commons
who was fluent but vapid talker, was max
ing an interminable speech against bill
which Curran defended. The Speaker at
last reminded him that his time had expired
Time, Mr.. Speaker!' exclaimed Curran.
HE has long since done with Time. He is
now trenching on eternity
John Randolph, of Roanoke, gave a still
more biting rebuke to wordy speaker.
young man, newly elected to Congress, am
bilious of distinction, attacked the great Vir-
ginian in speech of two hours length,
which he emphasized by an incessant, ludi-
crous tossing of both his arms heavenward.
When he had at last ended, the House
turned eagerly to Randolph, to hear how he
would answer the attack. He rose, stood
silent and motionless for a minute, then,
with profound gravity, repeated the absurd
gesture of his opponent, bowed, and sat
down, implying that there was nothing else
in the speech worth reply.
The House broke into deafening peals OF
laughter and the young man was annihi-
lated.
The man who talks much has been the
butt for the ridicule Of every nation since the
days of Euripides. ~ pdrle beducoatp, nadis
ne dit rienF' Che speaks much, but says
nothing), sneers the witty Frenchman. In
the Spanish legend the garrulous man has no
soul to last after death; he turns into wind.
and is happy in making throughout eternity
a noise which nobody can answer.
The Arab proverb compares men who talk
much to mills. 1--WE hear their perpetual
clatter, but they give us no -four"
In every language there is word to de-
scribe the insignifcance and worthlessness
of the babbler.
However, there is room to doubt whether
this universal verdict against Mr.. Talkative
is always just.
Boys and girls who have been unwisely
made the constant centre of attention in
their childhood by their families are apt to
